The government of Haiti summoned a representative of the US after President Donald Trump on Thursday referred to Haiti as “shithole countries”, the correspondent of NBC News Yamiche Alcindor tweeted.
I just talked to Haiti’s Ambassador to the United States Paul Altidor who said he and the Haitian government “vehemently condemn” President Trump’s comments which they believe are “based on stereotypes.” “Either the president has been misinformed or he is miseducated.”

Earlier, Trump stated that the US does not need migrants from “ the shithole countries.” A group of senators visited the White House to offer the president a compromise agreement concerning migrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.
